it's not a bug it's a feature.

many skylines do that - mine certainly did (until today, new pads fitted.. however i'm sure the squeal will come back once they are bedded in).

since it's only in reverse i don't care. if it happened every time i pulled up at the lights it would annoy me.

normal?? brakes shouldnt squeek lol.

ive read all over the forum about this issue, so i take it it is normal??

surley there is a way to fix it.cause it bugs the hell out of me :)

ahh yeah, some brakes do squeek and it isn't a problem it all depends what the pads are made out of

Asbestos may be deadly but it sure was great as a friction material, no shuddering clutches no squealing brakes no glazed rotors, with the compounds used in todays brake pads 2 things will always happen noise and dust, its hear to stay!

Each time you wash your car, ( make sure your rotors aren't hot as they'll warp) jam the hose into the calipers and wash as much brake dust away as possible.

It may also be a build up of brake dust in your handbrake, shoes inside rear discs may be quiet forward but when reversing get noisy.

Enjoy.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
